Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Osteen, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Osteen where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
